Perfect to teaching your children/students alphabet recognition and lower and upper case letters.
Cut out the flash cards (laminate is optional), ask the children/students to match up the uppercase with the lowercase letter.
I find my students like to do it on the floor, nice change from sitting at the table!
Great activity as a lesson starter or as part of the main lesson!
A great and fun way of starting off your English lesson! Focussing on grammar.
You need to click on the correct version of the sentence and it automatically takes you to a well done or an incorrect page and then onto the next one! 9 questions included, can add more in!
Fun in tutor time also!
Hope you like it:)
I love this resource so much!
I write the word of the week on the main train and then break down the word in each carriage and every lesson before we start we break up the word and put it all together or sometimes I put the sounds used in each word for my more advanced students.
Never fails to make the children laugh!
Print as big as you like a laminate, I use this on our display board.
Document contains one train and 3 carriages.
Perfect worksheet for getting your children/students to think about objects/items by reading clues and writing the answers.
Great to do as a class; 3 worksheets included with an answer sheet.
Great starter that get students mind's thinking! You need to create words from light bulbs by taking one letter from each bulb. Perfect for tutor time too!
Takes about 15 minutes from start to finish.
Hope you like it:)
Great for a display board or side board!
Print out the tree, better to enlarge (currently on A4) and then cut out and laminate the tree.
I write words on the leaves and we repeat them everyday but you can also ask the children to write their names and decorate their leaves and stick them on and have it as a class tree with everyone's name!
Remember not to laminate the leaves if you are drawing/writing on them first!
Many ways to use this tree!
Enjoy!
Bundle includes a variety of wall and feature displays.
Take off to Exams is a large display for exam and revision techniques.
Speech Tree display is a A3 tree which you use the leaves to add on words of the day/week.
Summer Reads is a medium size wall display about books to read over summer, good for library or English rooms.
Variety of borders for children to write/print in as a good way of displaying their work.
Word of the Week Train is a great resource for writing the word on the train and then breaking the word down in the rest of the carriages.
I know the bundle is suited for all ages but is good to share with the whole school!
Hope you like it!:)
Great resource for helping with speech therapy!
Only contains 4 songs but I think it is better to learn all the words so you can really improve on the sounds rather than the reading!
Fun way of learning speech and sounds!
No backing music is attached to this file as I do not use any.

Nice little reading log that I use with my mentoree!
On each page there is a table with Title, Author, Date, Rating (Stars to colour) and comments.
You can fill this in, the parents and even the child themselves.
Perfect way to keep track of all books read and how well they have done so!
Best to print double-sided and staple in the middle.
This is an amazing resource that I made to get children of any age (I use it for primary and secondary) to look at a wider range of texts and to develop understanding in all areas of writing (eg. structure, layout, purpose, format, text type).
This resource is 34 pages but is set to print as an A5 booklet. It has a front cover, a page on how 20 minutes of reading a day can improve reading dramatically, a page on how to prepare yourself to get the best out of reading, a page on how to use the book and a page on all the types of texts the student needs to read. These include newspapers, play scripts, comics, football report, diary, letter, fiction and non-fiction etc. There are a total of 14 to be completed.
I give these to my students to complete at home and at least 1 should be done per week; but they could be done in school time.
I hope you like it:)
Great worksheet for children to practice their formal writing skills.
This sheet has a real-life letter in to a columnist regarding daydreams and what they mean etc. You may need to give students some knowledge on daydreams or allow them to work it out for themselves in private research.
Your students job is to write a reply using correct letter structure, tone, and punctuation. Includes brief success criteria for content and writing.
